See School Commissioner Daven
port's notice, in this issue, of the
time and place of examination of
applicants to teach in our public

the standard of requirements for
teaching in the public schools has
been raised from year to year, so
that the fact that a person re
ceived a first grade certificate last
year is no assurance that he will
receive one this year. A colored
teacher in this county who re
ceived a first grade certificate year
before last received only a second
grade certificate las' year. At this
next examination it is possible he
will get a third grade certificate or
drop out altogether-lag entirely
superfluous on the stage.

In another column we publish
the statement of The Farmere
Bank of Edgefield. This state
ment shows up an eight per cent
dividend for the year ending March
2nd, 1894. Besides this, there are
undivided profits of $5,805.15. So
that stockholders, in addition to
their annual dividends p:tid to
them in cash, have still left in the
bank to the credit of their stock
more than ten per cent. Four an
nual dividends of eight per cent
each make thirty-two per cent. Add
this to the ten per cent above men
tioned and you have forty-two per
cent made for stockholders since
the establishment of this bank
and they still own the stock togo
on earning dividends.
To illustrate : If stock in the
Farmers Bank had been pound
cake, each stockholder could truth
fully say in regard thereto, that he
had eaten nearly half of his cake,
had as much left 'is he had before
he took the first bite, and the more
he "chawed" it the gooder it gets.

The Dispensary Law Good Far
Better Than the Old Time
Methods of Distributing
Liquid Damnation.
MR. EDITOR: News in this vicin
age is like unto Choty's presi
dential aspirants, scarce, indeed.
Nothing out of the line of the
usual routine of life to break the
monotony. Not even a little "snake
bite remedy" to make us feel that
we are "lords of ali we survey."
Since the establishment of the
dispensary, "snake bite" is quite
scarce with us, which 'ie a God
send, not only to us, but to the
State at large physically and
morally. All Christians and right
thinking people BO?* and acknowl
edge that sixty places of dispensing
whiskey with its strict require
ments is far better than one thous
and bar rooms with their damna
ble allurements which bring so
many of our young men to poverty,
shame, and disgrace.
The mantle of whiteness which
lately covered '.he earth gave our
grain a golden hue, but perhaps
destroyed the fly of which some of
your subscribers complained.
Little Joe Doolittle, a lad of
perhaps twelve years, is the hero
of the day. On the day of the ar
rest of Zack Collier, an ex-convict,
and his accomplice, accused of
ourglary and larceny, Joe went
with a party of men to capture the
first named prisoner. The negro,
on some false-pretence, asked to be
allowed to get something from his
house. When inside he made haste
to get out of a rear window, and
gave the men a race, lt was here
that little Joe showed his worth.
After running some distance Joe
saw that the men were beginning
to fag, and set about to overtake
the negro, which he did in short
order, and as soon as he was near
enough grabbed the burly negro by
thr -^at-tail and held on until the
negro made an attempt to strike
when he would let loose and grab
again. This was repeated until
the negro was completely worried
down by the little fellow. The
men followed as fast as their tired
legs would carry them and at last
caught up with Joe and his captive,
who coul'' no longer run with the
boy swinging from the extremity
of his coat. Joe in ono respect
remintls us of
The little dog whose name was Jack

EDGEFIELD, S. C., March 5.-Ed
itors Chronicle : My communica
tion will be one of inquiry more
than anything else, especially as I
am a plain backwoods farmer of
Edgefield.
But when we look at the politi
cal and social status of our coun
try, verily, "it is a condition aDd
not a theory that confronts us."
When wheat is selling in the Wes
tern markets for oOcts. per bushel,
and thousands starving right in
the midst of plenty, cotton selling
at 7cts. per pound, and the people
of the South not able to buy cloth
ing, the Secretary of the Treas
ury of the United States issuing
millions more of debt; is it a
wonder that you are so often
asked what is the cause of hard
times?
Previous to Mr. Cleveland's sec
ond administration he certainly at
tributed it to the tariff (and no
doubt it worked its share) for if
there was any one measure that he
should have called Congress to
gether in extraordinary session to
consider it was "Tariff Reform,"
but ere the ides of May were upon
us, you could see from the daily
pressthat Congress was to bo con
vened, and for what purpose? To
legislate upon the tariff? No ! No ! !
The President in his message to
Congress did not mention tariff
reform, or if he did, it was of mi
nor importance ; but it, was to leg
islate on money.
Would the President try and
make the average citizen believe
that the tight times took place be
tween the day of his inaugural
and the time he convened Congress
in extraordinary session? It cer
tainly would look ?o, but Mr. Edi
tor, these tight times have been
coming for years past, the farmers
have felt them for a long time
and for something better, the sub
treasury plan was advanced, but
they were "laughed to scorn."
Gradually, however, these tight
times kept advancing until they
permeated every class of the busi
ness world, the pressure was so
great that there was the general
cry that we needed legislation on
the money question, (the very thing
the farmers had asked for, but in
a different shape) and what was
the result? That in less than six
months after Mr. Cleveland was
inaugurated he had Congress as
sembled to legislate on the money
question to relieve the "tightness
of the times."
Unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act was the fiat sent
forth. This infamous law, they
said, was the cause of all of our
woes. After about a hundred days
of hard Congressional fighting the
Sherman act was repealed. Now,
they said we would see the country
prosper as never before. I was
forcibly reminded of the debate of
the futures bill in the last Con
gress. Just kill the Hatch bill,
and you will eoe cotton, wheat, and
other farm products go right up,
tho bill was killed and cotton went
rigbt]dowu. The Sherman act was
repealed, but did the easy times
come, did money become plentiful?
Who would doubt for a moment
that the Secretary of the Treasury
thought, after the passage of the
repeal bill, he would be forced to
issue bonds? The resu'.t, sir, proves
how wide of the mark they were.
From a Southerner's stand point,
when the President convened Con
gress on the financial question ho
struck the right measure but the
wrong key, as subsequent events
proved.
Silver naturally occupies its
place as a standard of value in the
commercial world. Since the time
Abraham weighed out the stipula
ted amount of silver to Ephraim to
pay for the last resting place of
his beloved ?vife, silver has occu
pied its place in the commercial
world as a measure of value. The
Creator of all things deemed it a
a fit medium of exchange and we
of modern times will try and try
tn legislate it out of existence, but
like Newton's law of gravitation,
(i. e., the rock thrown up will re
turn to the earth,) so with silver,
The gold influence can legislate,
put it in thc background, but of
its own inherent strength it will
force itself to thc front-like Ban
ques ghost.
The gold that is mined will not
near do the business of tne world.
The Earl of Kimberly, who is now
President of the Indian Council,
without any warning closed the
Indian mints to silver, at the very
time our Congress was being call
ed in extra session, and to the un
prejudiced mind it would look as
if it was done to have its influence
on Congress soon to meet, and may
have done so. What was the re
sult? Did India's trade increase?
Did her commerce grow? How has
it been in the ?uited States?
If we are to believe the daily
press the trade in Iridia rubber un
der the new dispensation became
stagnant; the India Council got
into deep water with their council
draughts, and it looks now that af
ter eight month's triai they will be
forced to open the mints again.
You take China and India vith
their countless numbers of popu
lations, and the rapid strides to
wards civilization ?hey are mak
king, irwill take ali the silver and
gold too, and more besides, to do
the vast business that will be car
ried on.
England gives silver a black eye
whenever she can possibly do so.
Why? Why is it that both politi
cal parties of England hold the
samo financial views? Being the
largest creditor power by far on
the globe, if she controla the gold
andean force gold obligations, it
gives her a peculiar trip on the fi
nancial reins of the world. Is'it a
wonder England wants the United
States to measure by her yard
stick when she has more than fif
teen billions invested in this coun
try? If I am correctly informed,
about seven-tenths of the civilized
world now uses silver as a standard,
just suppose now that they were
forced to change to the gold stand
ard, what would be the result? We
would have the greatest revolu
tion known to history, or the peo
ple would be burdened with obli
gations that infinite time would
never enabl? them to pay. With
all the hostile legislation to silver,
Mexico with her silver standard,
has wonderfully maintained her
credit, and sustained her business
relations. Let the gold standard
be adopted there, and the people
would be up in arms in twenty
four hours. Values would tum
ble like water falling overa preci
pice.
Strike down silver, and a the same
time, down goes your cotton .and
your wheat; we have only to com
pare the figures to see how forcibly
this is illustrated. I have never
known why Secretary Carlisle is
sued fifty millions of gold bonds;
we hear so much about the de
cyse in the gold reserve, was it
tojfill up the gap? Suppose anoth
er inroad is made in the gold re
serve, guesi? another fifty millions
will be placed on the people's
shoulders. It seems to be the law
to give an individual (the Secreta
ry of the Treasury), the power to
contract obligations without con
sulting either bfanch of Congress,
or anyone else?
This isa great country of ours;
her products cannot be equalled in
the world, but when we see all of
the ??oney concentrated in one
section of it, something is obvious
ly wrong.
You take the two great political
parties of thiscountrp, and, on fi
nancial questions, they are hand
in glove with the East, as opposed
to the South and West. There is
ple"nty of money, but we must look
to them, who can make times easy,
or bring on a panic at will, and
the recent session of Congres? ma
terially aided them.
If statistics are true the ratio of
money per capita has been great
ly reduced in the last twenty
years.
Let us suppose that we have the
free coinage of silver. Could not
the law be framed so that all out
standing obligations should be
paid in gold that the contract call
ed for? This would forever put at
rest the argument of the gold men
that tney would be paid in dishon
est money. But all succeeding
contracts could be redeemed in
either gold or silver. You would
certainly see no mere gold bonds
issuec as we have just had. Of
course with the credit the United
States haB, the gold standard could
be maintained for a long time, but
it would prove an everlasting bur
den to the people. The producer
will find his products gradually
cheapened, his burdens gradually
grow heavier, but we cannot tell
exactly why it is.
Talk about over-production be
ing the cause of our evils, when
throughout the length and breadth
of cur land you hear the cry ot
starvation ! During the Exposition
in Chicago la?it fall I was forcibly
struck with this state of affairs,
when I saw congregated on the
laka front three or four thousand
men demanding bread; no work,
no money, starvation. At tho same
time wheat was cheaper than ever
known.
One person tells us we don't
work enough, and another that it
is over-production, and so it
goes.
The Democratic party owes it to
the people to carry out the free
coinage plank in its platform. Let
it fulfill its obligations to the peo
ple even though the bill meets its
death in another quarter.
The party will not be handicap
ped by it, but if itdoos not, it will
go into the campaign with dead
weight to carry. R store to silver
the place it naturally occupies in
the financial world, and wc will
see that factories will start up,
work shops open, and starvation
will pass from among us. A new
era will dawn upon us, new life
will spring from the old soil and
peace, progress and prosperity will
reign in our land. T. R.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
There was never a time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as trow. The conveniences of
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on roe farm, and
in official life, require continual ac
cessions to the appurtenances and
implements of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change in the administration of the
government does not affect the progress
of the American inventor, wi o being
on the alert' and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter him
from quickly conceivingthe remedy to
overcome existingdiscrepencies. Too
great care can not be exercised in choos
uga competent and skillfully attor
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap
plication for patent. Valuable intersts
have been lost and destroyed in in
numerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt thc "No patent, no
pay*'system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class ol' attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as thc breadth
and strength of the patent, is never
considered in view of a quickrndcavor
to get an allowance and obtain tin
fee then due. TUE PRESS CLAIMS
